Chapter 325: Simply Can’t Reach an Agreement
After a night of turmoil, the two teams had reunited. Although the blizzard was still raging outside, everyone felt a lot warmer huddled together inside a tent.
Lin Xi looked at Ning Qi with a puzzled expression, wondering when there was a new beauty in Gu Fan’s squad.
Ning Qi was also intrigued. She already knew that Lin Xi was Gu Fan’s ex-girlfriend. This made her more suspicious, wondering why Gu Fan and Lin Xi were leading separate teams on an expedition to Yuxueyun Mountain. What exactly were they looking for?
Ning Qi had a hunch that this situation was anything but simple. Whatever Gu Fan and Lin Xi were after had to be more valuable than just a treasure. She was glad she had chosen to stay with Gu Fan.
Seeing Ning Qi nestled close to Gu Fan, Lin Xi gave a wry smile, "Well, Gu Fan, how long has it been since we last saw each other and you’ve already gotten to know a new beauty. Impressive."
Gu Fan responded directly, "We met on the way. Her companions had an accident, so she joined us. In such wilderness, should we not help each other? As you know, I’m always willing to lend a hand."
What a bunch of lies. Lin Xi scoffed, "If you’re so ready to help, why come all the way here when there are so many people in the city who need it? It seems you’re here to stir up trouble. I have a feeling you’re here for revenge."
"That’s because Gu Fan’s..." Lu Yi began to explain but was silenced mid-sentence by Gu Fan’s hand over her mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Xi frowned, suspecting that Gu Fan and his team had a ulterior motive they weren’t willing to admit.
